I tried this one but I never finished configuring it, I should try again though.

My Linux journey over 1.5 years has been fedora gnome, then cosmic, then KDE, then nix+niri but doing both at one was a mistake. After that I just decided to embrace KDE and learn nix, and that’s where I am many months later.

No, I doubt really use it for launching apps. On most OSes now you press cmd/windows/super button and it opens a text field to launch apps.

Mostly I use CLIs or TUIs in the terminal for 80% of my computer use, and a many apps that are just browser tabs now.

My vim config has dozens of custom hot keys and functions for all sorts of things. Same with tmux and my dot files or user local script bin, they’re full of utilities and scripts and customizations.

That’s never going to help me organize a photo album or be a good existence for checking my email (I know I can check my email from a tui, but I don’t want to)

Anything we as humans choose to be a part of, we can choose to improve. Unions included. Nothing needs to stay the same if it isn’t working.

It would be nice.

Most of my complaints about unions are:

• Seniority is a terrible system to build a foundation from. It just is. I don’t give a fuck who got there first, seniority systems grow complacency, punish competence, and lower labour mobility. I was in a union as a teenager, the company offered lump sum payments for the older union members to literally sell out the younger ones with delayed wage increases, and they all voted for it since it was harming someone else.
• There are many unions that are just greedy pigs. You pay dues in, the union gets fat, but they spend all their time defending the wrong people.
• Unions can add a lot of extra process to things that don’t require it

However, that does not mean we shouldn’t have unions. We should maybe try to improve how we do them, so they work better for everyone.

I just want a union that looks out for unfair labour practices, forced unpaid overtime, keeps the company competitive on salary and benefits, and is willing to fight for workers who are unduly fired or sidelined.

I really like the terminal, most of my use is a web browser or terminal with tmux.

I use hot keys like cray, but I haven’t found a timing window manager I like yet (I don’t like when things shift automaticallly, it breaks my mental model), and I haven’t found a Linux desktop with the keyboard ergonomics of macOS.

But 95% of my time is with full screen terminals, so I’m actually pretty okay. I have customized vim and tmux to the hilt, and I like that.

Same thing just happened with Anthropics numbers. Billions short of their stated numbers.

The whole threatening careers thing happened with navier stokes too.

These people are completely rotten to the core.

CRAM is an excellent name

I’ve always hated AI comments. They’re the bastard fusion medium blog spam and data labelling from underpaid and exploited people seeping into the slop.

Comments are for why, edge cases, and caveats. They should help explain unintuitive behaviours that usually must be learned the hard way, they help expose a larger structures, they explain an optimization, a shim, or a complex regex, or they explain where a temporary measure exists. Things of that nature.

Self documenting code is about thinking of the reader. I’ve worked in places that uphold self documenting code as gold and banned code comments at all and I’m convinced that’s wrong. It’s a burden on readers to have to go through history to find the addition, but the file has changed names or moved without a proper git mv and it’s a waste of time.

On that note, learning objective C and Swift did a lot for how I think about what naming could be. I try to focus on clear verbs and nouns so the action and target are always clear, avoid side effects, include examples in my docs, and embrace typing structures like nanedtuples in untyped languages.

I really like some of the direction Canonical is going, but very much do not like how they’re getting there.

Rust core utils sounds great, this sounds great, but practically I feel both need a lot of time in the oven to come out right and that’s okay.

I also i feel like snaps have lost and can be considered a mistake. I don’t use snaps, so I can’t explain why, but everyone is saying it.

It doesn’t really feel like work, I just sort by weight+size in descending order

I worked in grocery stores as a teen and I just want that to remain available.

I also do not like the self checkout machine. They have an unacceptable number of steps to pay. They’re horribly programmed. I don’t like the small baggage areas.

This is why I unload them onto the belt in the order they must be bagged

s/pulling back/slowing expansion of installations/g

These are not the same thing, and if you look at any S curve you can see why.

The good news is you don’t have to think about it or hand it over. The AI asks for full disk access and then pulls it all on its own. I hope you don’t have anything private in your machine.

I understand, I am having a good day, except I got a 95,000 loc 2900 file AI generated PR dropped on me today and all the variable are single letters used inconsistently. It’s like reading Malboge.

To be fair, my dad was just trying to stop him from getting in trouble with the cops, who largely turned a blind eye to little things that didn’t hurt anyone.

I just mean there’s enough tech illiterate people out there that they don’t need that liability.

95% of people will just turn on the tracking and not know or think about it. Connecting to nearby wifi is more of a risk.
